Hi Serkan!
I think what you describe is known in English as shingles. It is a herpes zoster flair up, often of a latent virus population that was expressed in childhood as chicken pox.
The virus lies dormant in the nerve fibers near the spine. When it deactivated. It creeps up the nerve fibers to the skin surface where it erupts in a painful rash localized to the portion of the body served by the particular nerve cluster that is affected. Immunosuppression can allow the dormant virus population to expand. The flare-up generally does have a finite lifespan of two to four weeks.
Take care!
Greg
